Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

Download or read book Developing Next generation Leadership Talent in Family Businesses written by Stephen P. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The task of preparing next-generation family members for leadership responsibilities in the family business is too important to leave to chance. There are 17 million family businesses in the United States, and they generate half of the nation's GDP. Family-owned or controlled businesses produce three-quarters of GDP in most other countries and comprise over 80% of businesses in the world's free economies, including a fifth of the companies in the Fortune Global 500. Despite their importance, the survival rate for family enterprises through multiple generations of family ownership is low. Only 30% survive from the first generation to the second, 12% from the second to the third, and 4% from the third to the fourth. Weak next-generation leadership is one of the top three threats to long-term family firm success. Next-generation family business leaders face a set of challenges unique to family-owned businesses. Not only must they meet the challenges of sustaining a successful business, they must also negotiate the complexities of the family and ownership systems that are integral components of family enterprises, often while living in the shadow of a successful entrepreneur who happens to be a father, mother, or other close relative. While there is general agreement in the family business literature about the importance of next-generation leadership, there is a lack of rigorous research on how future leaders are developed in family firms. This study employed an integrated sequential mixed-methods approach to address that gap by identifying and exploring relationships among factors that influence the effectiveness of next-generation family leaders and the degree to which they are positively engaged with their work in the family business.Three phases of research were conducted. The first was a qualitative study of 37 leaders of privately-owned, mid-market family businesses in the United States and Canada. Early leadership learning experiences, emotional and social intelligence, job assignments with real responsibility and accountability, and personal reflection were identified as factors that promote next-generation leader development. Obligatory or entitled motivations for joining the family business, being shielded from risk and/or the consequences of failure, a family environment characterized by unresolved conflict, and being promoted to positions without necessary qualifications were identified as impediments to the acquisition of leadership skill by next-generation leaders. The qualitative results informed by leadership, intentional change, and family systems theories were used to develop a conceptual framework that guided the two quantitative phases of the study. Data was collected from 100 next-generation family firm leaders and 350 family and non-family leaders and employees with whom they work. The first quantitative study found that the degree to which next-generation leaders assumed personal responsibility for their actions and decisions was strongly related to their display of emotional and social intelligence competencies, which in turn, was the major driver of their leadership effectiveness. Next-generation leader acceptance of personal responsibility was also strongly related to the degree to which they were held accountable by others, which positively affected their engagement with work in the family firm. The climate in the business-owning family affected next-generation leader effectiveness and work engagement through its influence on the level of personal responsibility assumed by the next-generation leaders. A family climate characterized by open communication, intergenerational attention to the developmental needs of the next generation, and cognitive cohesion increased next-generation acceptance of personal responsibility. A family climate characterized by an autocratic senior generation that exercises unquestioned authority decreased the degree to which next-generation leaders accepted responsibility.The second quantitative study found that next-generation leaders who were provided with challenging work assignments, meaningful mentoring relationships, and opportunities to receive candid feedback on their leadership behaviors were more likely to become self-aware, effective leaders who derive positive energy, inspiration, and fulfillment from their work in the family firm. Open communication in the business-owning family increased next-generation leader self-awareness and positively affected the expression of emotional and social intelligence competencies in their leadership behaviors, which drove their leadership effectiveness.The study contributes to family business and leadership theory by identifying mechanisms through which the climate of the business-owning family affects next-generation leader development. It also suggests that a family climate characterized by an autocratic senior generation may contribute to the low survival rate of family firms through its negative influence on the acquisition of leadership skills by next-generation family members. The study contributes to family business practice by demonstrating the importance of balancing a focus on the business with a focus on the family, and by identifying ways business-owning families can help next-generation family members develop the skills they need to be effective, engaged leaders of the family enterprise. The study's final, and perhaps most important, message is for next-generation leaders. Ultimately, their leadership effectiveness, as well as the benefits they derive from working in the family firm, is up to them.

Book excerpt: The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be. True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership—where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others. The 5 Levels of Leadership are: 1. Position—People follow because they have to. 2. Permission—People follow because they want to. 3. Production—People follow because of what you have done for the organization. 4. People Development—People follow because of what you have done for them personally. 5. Pinnacle—People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

Download or read book Global Leadership written by Marshall Goldsmith and published by FT Press. This book was released on 2003-04-28 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The follow-up to Marshall Goldsmith's 500,000-copy bestseller The Leader of the Future, Global Leadership: The Next Generation systematically identifies what tomorrow's leaders will need to know, do and believe in order to successfully lead the global enterprise of the future. Drawing on the results of an extraordinary 2-year Accenture study of emerging business leaders, this book shows why the skills of today's global leaders won't be enough--and why tomorrow's leaders won't resemble today's. Goldsmith and his co-authors first identify five new "factors of leadership" and their implications: global thinking, appreciation of diversity, technological savvy, a willingness to partner and an openness to sharing leadership. They explain what it will mean to lead in an era where intellectual capital is the dominant source of value; how to lead people whose backgrounds and values may be radically dissimilar from yours; and why achieving personal self-mastery is now a fundamental prerequisite for leading others. From the evolution of "federated," semi-autonomous organizational structures to the personal leadership challenges now arising from globalism, this book offers unprecedented insights into the new challenges of leadership--and what it will take to meet them.
